Lefto Early Bird Motherless Father

Like many of his generation, Lefto has gained a global following because of his radio shows. Broadcasting on the likes of Kiosk Radio, The Lot Radio and the late Worldwide FM from his base in Brussels and several shows on NTS, he’s become an international beacon of good taste whether dropping jazz, electronica, techno and house or hip hop. Appearing as a special guest on live shows from Robert Glasper, Thundercat and touring with Badbadnotgood just to name a few, he’s been praised for being consistently ahead, devoted to the future of music, not waiting for the next thing — he seeks it out. No wonder he is affiliated to many international labels like Brownswood Recordings, Ninja Tune, R&S Records, Boiler Room and Red Bull Music. Lefto’s biggest personal achievement is a remix album for Blue Note, but he also released productions on International Anthem, Heavenly Sweetness, Bastard Jazz Records, has a Serato record, and curated compilations for Gilles Peterson, Universal, BBE and SDBAN. Famed for taking his crowd on a journey from Jazz to anything he likes, and blessing sound systems around the globe with regular nights in Japan, South-Korea, USA and Europe, he also curates his own nights in Belgium, is a resident at Horst Festival and hosts a stage at one of Belgium’s biggest festivals, Dour Festival. His new album “Motherless Father” shares his personal journey of abandonment as a child to becoming a parent himself. ‘Motherless Father’ draws heavily from jazz, and features electronic elements, live instruments and both naturalistic and distorted vocals - MixMag ‘Having established himself as one of the airwaves’ premier tastemakers...
